'American Dirt' book tour canceled because of safety concerns

[Graves The Elder]

I respect that, but I've also read over 1,000 books, and I have my own favorites and stories. *I'm* not claiming to have read more books than *you've* heard of.

smh, some type of attempt language pwn out of desperation?

Great movie based on an autobiography.

Saw it in 8th grade social studies. Taught me a lot.

Saw them talking about the book on "The Breakfast Club" yesterday and one of the things I remember about the criticism on the book was stereotypes and this woman not making the book authentic like making mistakes such as calling her mother "Abuella" which means grandmother in Spanish. lol

That's pretty egregious.

Everything is racist to these brainwashed motherfuckers.

Anything that doesn't fit their narrative is met with this slander.

Just read an article about it a couole of points that stoop out was:

MS. Magazine assigned someone to write a review, but it was so negative that they wnded up not publishing her review.

Let that sink in. A review was rejected because it was negative.

A different reviewer called it "trauma porn".

 

[Fluffernutter]

Publisher made the fact that the author's husband was an undocumented immigrant a part of the marketing of the book.

Later, they apologized that they didn't mention he is from Ireland.

Sounds like fake news to pickup traction for a book no ones ever heard of. Thanks for sharing.

Amazing how may immigration zealots here have been dogwhistled into discussing Oprahs Book club rofl.

No your racism usually tells the tale. That and you said you’re white and poor and live in the woods

What racism?

 

[KONG-D'SNT-TAP]

Well your post right there was racism. You think to be black you need to speak more Ebonics.

Do the black posters who post here speak Ebonics. Like say @Trotsky or @Falsedawn

You heard it from Seano himself to be black you must speak Ebonics.

Calling in the squad on me ,eh?
I wasn't aware either of them was black, honestly.At least I don't recall it coming up. I guess they don't feel a need to make an issue of it like you do.
